Both myself and my partner who has MND are, shall we say, on the heavy side. Always enjoyed our food, going out and eating with friends etc. shortly after diagnosis we were enrolled into a research survey thingy between Oxford and Sheffield uni. Our part is to log what my partner eats, on three separate days each week and report to them in a zoom session once a month.
We had already been told to keep our calorie intake up by our specialist nurse we thought we wouldn't have a problem given our history, but, I have noticed that my partners appetite has started to drop and I am wondering if it is a response to the mental stress and fear she is experiencing or is it an actual part of what MND does to the body.
Wondering if this is what others have experienced?
